Variation in MHC genotypes in two populations of house sparrow (Passer domesticus) with different population histories

Small populations are likely to have a low genetic ability for disease resistance due to loss of genetic variation through inbreeding and genetic drift. In vertebrates, the highest genetic diversity of the immune system is located at genes within the major histocompatibility complex (MHC). Interesti...
